open gas tank MAZDA MODEL 3-SEDAN 2020 Owners Manual

Do not run the engine when inside an
enclosed area:
Running the engine inside an enclosed
area, such as a garage, is dangerous.
Exhaust gas, which contains poisonous
carbon monoxide, could easily enter the
cabin. Loss of consciousness or even death
could occur.
Open the windows or adjust the heating or
cooling system to draw fresh air when
idling the engine:
Exhaust gas is dangerous. When the vehicle
is stopped with the windows closed and the
engine running for a long time even in an
open area, exhaust gas, which contains
poisonous carbon monoxide, could enter
the cabin. Loss of consciousness or even
death could occur.
Clear snow from underneath and around
your vehicle, particularly the tail pipe,
before starting the engine:
Running the engine when a vehicle is
stopped in deep snow is dangerous. The
exhaust pipe could be blocked by the snow,
allowing exhaust gas to enter the cabin.
Because exhaust gas contains poisonous
carbon monoxide, it could cause loss of
consciousness or even death to occupants
in the cabin.Fuel-Filler Lid and Cap
▼Fuel-Filler Lid and Cap
WA R N I N G
When removing the fuel-filler cap, loosen
the cap slightly and wait for any hissing to
stop, then remove it:
Fuel spray is dangerous. Fuel can burn skin
and eyes and cause illness if ingested. Fuel
spray is released when there is pressure in
the fuel tank and the
fuel-filler cap is
removed too quickly.
Before refueling, stop the engine, and
always keep sparks and flames away from
the filler neck:
Fuel vapor is dangerous. It could be ignited
by sparks or flames causing serious burns
and injuries.
Additionally, use of the incorrect fuel-filler
cap or not using a fuel-filler cap may result
in a fuel leak, which could result in serious
burns or death in an accident.
Do not continue refueling after the fuel
pump nozzle shuts off automatically:
Continuing to add fuel after the fuel pump
nozzle has shut off automatically is
dangerous because overfilling the fuel tank
may cause fuel overflow or leakage. Fuel
overflow and leakage could damage the
vehicle and if the fuel ignites it could cause
a fire and explosion resulting in serious
injury or death.
